Amazon Linux 2023 NSS Cryptographic Module
Amazon Web Services, Inc. - FIPS 140 #5014
The Amazon Linux 2023 NSS Cryptographic Module provides a C language application program interface designed to support cross-platform development of security-enabled client and server applications. Applications built with NSS can support SSLv3, TLS, IKEv2, PKCS#5, PKCS#7, PKCS#11, PKCS#12, S/MIME, X.509 v3 certificates, and other security standards supporting FIPS 140-3 validated cryptographic algorithms.
